"Day after day after day, you and I would just wake up and feel like we were underwater. Could not get our head above water, could barely breathe." ~ Pat MilleaWhat does it actually take to survive the "fog of war" years of early parenthood without losing yourself or your marriage?Why might letting go of your own standards, like a spotless house or a specific parenting method, be the healthiest thing you can do for your family?What's the one practice Pat and Kenna almost let slip that ended up holding their marriage together?In episode 105 of This Whole Life, Pat and Kenna Millea open up their playbook for surviving, and even thriving, in the trenches of early parenthood. Drawing on their own experience raising seven kids, they talk honestly about the season a friend once called "the fog of war," the disorienting, sleep deprived stretch where you can't seem to get your head above water.From there, they walk through seven hard won practicals: holding firm to your values when everything feels chaotic, finding your own family's "clean spectrum," knowing when to take advice and when to let it roll off your back, outsourcing what you can without guilt, and protecting the handful of moments each day that actually shape your family's culture.They close with the two habits that quietly hold their marriage together in the middle of it all: going on dates, and praying together daily, even when it's just a Hail Mary before falling asleep.This episode is for anyone in the thick of parenting little kids who has wondered if they're doing it right, or anyone who remembers that season and wants to look back on it with a little more grace.Episode 105 Show NotesReflection QuestionsChapters:(00:00) - Cold Open(00:38) - Welcome, Lightning Round, and Highs and Hards(17:39) - The Fog of War: Why Early Parenthood Feels Like Survival(21:05) - Practical 1: Clarify and Hold Your Values(25:30) - Practicals 2 and 3: Finding Your Clean Spectrum and Filtering Advice(38:39) - Practicals 4 and 5: Outsourcing and Protecting High-Impact Moments(47:10) - Practicals 6 and 7: Dates, Prayer, and Staying Connected(53:12) - Challenge by Choice and Closing PrayerSupport the showThank you for listening, and a very special thank you to our community of supporters!Join our email list and never miss an episode or an eventVisit us online at thiswholelifepodcast.com, and send us an email with your thoughts, questions, or ideas.Follow us on Instagram & FacebookInterested in more faith-filled mental health resources?

Jim Hill and Eric Hersey cover the latest Universal Orlando Resort news before digging into a surprisingly rich piece of Universal Studios Hollywood history: He-Man and the Masters of the Universe briefly taking over the upper lot during the 1985 holiday season. They start with Fourth of July offerings at Epic Universe, Universal Studios Florida, CityWalk, and Bar 17 Bistro, then look at Illumination's box-office track record, Epic Universe guest surveys, and how Universal is comparing itself against Disney. The featured story traces He-Man's Conan-inspired roots, Mattel's toy-driven rise, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade connection, and why Masters of the Universe has never quite found a permanent theme park home. NEWS • Universal Orlando's Fourth of July plans included patriotic stilt walkers, fireworks at Epic Universe, lagoon entertainment at Universal Studios Florida, and family-friendly festivities at CityWalk. • Jim highlights Bar 17 Bistro at Aventura Hotel as one of the best rooftop spots for seeing fireworks across Central Florida. • Minions and Monsters opens the discussion of Illumination's reliable box-office machine and the studio's next wave of films, including Sing 3, The Secret Life of Pets 3, and Not Alone. • Eric shares new Epic Universe survey questions about park hours, nighttime entertainment, guest satisfaction, and whether visitors leave for other Orlando-area options. • Jim and Eric discuss why How to Train Your Dragon - Isle of Berk has become a new themed entertainment benchmark, and how Disney's upcoming Villains Land may be compared against it. FEATURE • The feature begins with old photos of He-Man, Skeletor, Orko, She-Ra, and other Masters of the Universe characters appearing at Universal Studios Hollywood. • Jim and Eric trace the sword-and-sorcery path from Robert E. Howard's Conan stories to Universal's Conan the Barbarian films and the long-running Adventures of Conan stage show. • Eric explains how Mattel's abandoned Conan toy plans helped lead to He-Man, Castle Grayskull, and the Masters of the Universe toy line. • The episode revisits the Filmation cartoon, the toy-and-TV boom of the 1980s, and the way He-Man became a playground staple for a generation. • Jim and Eric connect the 1985 Universal Studios Hollywood He-Man meet-and-greet to the Masters of the Universe Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade float. • The conversation looks back at Gary Goddard's 1987 Masters of the Universe movie, starring Dolph Lundgren and Frank Langella, and why it struggled despite the franchise's popularity. • Eric explains why He-Man is unlikely to become a major Universal attraction, even as Masters of the Universe merchandise appears in Universal parks. • The discussion closes with Mattel Adventure Park's proposed He-Man vs. Skeletor laser tag experience and what a future Castle Grayskull attraction might look like.

Talking to your teen about sex is so good and important, but it can be vulnerable and uncomfortable.Trust us... Kenna knows.
Today we're talking about the power of community, resilience, and what it really means to show up bravely in the caregiver parenting journey. My guest is fellow community builder and mom on a mission Jessica Patay, the founder of We Are Brave Together, a global community supporting moms raising children with disabilities and other unique needs. Jessica's work is deeply rooted in her own experience as a caregiving mom to her son Ryan, who was diagnosed with Prader-Willi syndrome, and her mission is all about making sure no parent has to walk this path alone. In our conversation, Jessica shares her story and the inspiration behind building such a powerful, life-giving community for mothers. We talk about the isolation so many caregivers experience, the importance of connection and support, and what it looks like to cultivate resilience in the midst of ongoing challenges. Jessica also offers practical, compassionate insights for parents who are feeling overwhelmed, reminding us that even in the hardest seasons, we are not alone—and we were never meant to do this by ourselves. About Jessica Patay Jessica Patay is passionate about serving caregiving moms and creating authentic communities. She has always fostered deep, life-giving friendships and has been intentional about her community of girlfriends. As a caregiving mom herself, this passion carries on as she gathers women to encourage them, mentor them, inspire them, and validate their intense and precious journeys. Her own story as a mom to a child with a disability, began in 2003 when her second son, Ryan, was born and diagnosed with a rare, genetic disorder, called Prader-Willi syndrome. Within two days of receiving this diagnosis, she received a phone call from a mentor mom from the Prader-Willi California Foundation. Immediately she felt relief and comfort knowing she was NOT ALONE. Thankfully, Ryan is sandwiched in the middle of siblings Luke and Kate, both fierce and loving cheerleaders and helpers to Ryan. Jessica is the founder of The We Are Brave Together organization, a supportive community for moms of children with disabilities and all unique needs, which has grown into an international community of over 4200 moms. She has helped launch over 25 support groups all over the United States, and in New Zealand and Australia, in the last five years. She is the host of the Brave Together Podcast. Things you'll learn from this episode Why community is a critical foundation for healing, resilience, and feeling less alone as a caregiver How distinguishing between caregiving and motherhood can help parents better understand their experience How We Are Brave Together creates connection through circles, retreats, and shared storytelling Why bravery often shows up in small, everyday moments rather than big, visible acts How Jessica's work, including Suddenly Brave Together, reflects and validates the lived experience of caregivers Why systemic challenges can leave caregivers isolated—and how taking small, practical steps can help them find support now Resources mentioned We Are Brave Together Brave Together Podcast Becoming Brave Together: Heroic, Extraordinary Caregiving Stories from Mothers Hidden in Plain Sight by Jessica Patay Suddenly Brave Together: Letters to Caregiving Moms in a Defining Moment of Their Lives by Jessica Patay We Are Brave Together Facebook Group Demystifying Disability: What to Know, What to Say, and How to be an Ally by Emily Ladau Emily Ladau on Demystifying Disability: What to Know, What to Say, and How to be an Ally (Tilt Parenting Podcast) Kelley Coleman on Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child (Tilt Parenting Podcast) Margaret Webb Parent Coaching Learn more about your ad choices.

Mostly Film – Take 236: What's NewIt's a big one this week. Jonathan and JP are back with a mountain of trailers, an absolutely unhinged watch list, and a news cycle that genuinely did not slow down.First, List It or Nix It — fifteen trailers go through the gauntlet this week. Werwulf, Angry Birds 3, Not Alone, The Dink, The Debut, Digger, Her Private Hell, Late Fame, The Weight, Jimmy, Union County, The Devil's Mouth, Mum I'm Alien Pregnant, Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother, and Charlie Harper. Yes, all of them. Yes, Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant is real.Then it's What We've Been Watching, and Jonathan went absolutely feral this week — Toy Story 5, Backrooms, Obsession, Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass, The Sheep Detectives, Carolina Caroline, David, and somehow also Despicable Me, Despicable Me 2, Minions, The Borrowers, Ponyo, My Neighbor Totoro, and Honey We Shrunk Ourselves. JP brings Obsession, Backrooms, and Tuner to the table. Between the two of them, a lot of ground gets covered.In the news: The Odyssey had its world premiere in London tonight — Nolan, Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Hathaway, and Pattinson all on the red carpet — and the conversation around the film is complicated. 450,000 trailer dislikes, replies turned off on premiere posts, and it opens in 11 days. Does tonight change anything? Minions & Monsters had a rough July 4th opening, becoming a franchise low domestically while Toy Story 5 just kept eating. The Michael Jackson biopic quietly became the highest-grossing biopic in history. The Avengers: Doomsday trailer is reportedly dropping at SDCC on July 25. And Emmy nominations land tomorrow morning — Harrison Ford might finally be getting his flowers.

"You, friend, listening to this, watching this right now, you are good. Period." ~ Pat MilleaWhat's the real difference between failing at something and believing you are a failure?Why does the world have a vested interest in convincing you your worth is something you have to go earn?What happens when you build your identity on your mission instead of on your relationship with God?In episode 104 of This Whole Life, Pat and Kenna Millea sit with a truth most of us know in our heads but rarely trust in our hearts: you are good, not because of what you do, but because of who made you. Kenna opens up about a moment in spiritual direction that cracked something open for her, realizing that failing has to do with her actions, but shame goes deeper, straight to her sense of being.They walk through a simple framework from their own spiritual direction called RIM: relationship, identity, and mission, moving clockwise like the rim of a bowl. Relationship with God comes first, identity flows from that relationship, and mission flows from identity. Most of us live it backwards, chasing our mission first and letting our performance tell us who we are, which is exactly how one bad meeting, one lost client, or one hard parenting moment convinces us we're worthless.Pat shares a story from his years in youth ministry about a student whose entire identity was wrapped up in sports, and what happened to that identity the moment a torn ACL took the sport away. They also get into the difference between true humility and the "fishing for compliments" version so many Christians default to, and close with two of their favorite lines on identity, one from Aslan in Prince Caspian, and one from a fifth century doctor of the church named Peter Chrysologus.Episode 104 Show NotesReflection QuestionsChapters:(00:00) - Cold Open(00:47) - Welcome Back and Today's Topic(01:20) - The Good or Bad Game(07:01) - Highs and Hards(13:09) - Failing vs. Feeling Shame(15:26) - The World's Vested Interest in Your Insecurity(19:02) - The Athlete Who Lost His Identity(25:00) - Introducing the RIM Framework(28:05) - Living It Backwards(34:57) - Why We'd Rather Hustle Than Rest(41:15) - Holding Sin and Goodness Together(45:13) - Two Closing Quotes on Identity(48:38) - Closing PrayerLinks and Resources:Prince Caspian by C.S.

Unspoken Words: A Selective Mutism Podcast by Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum
Episode 79 of the Unspoken Words podcast features Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum and Dr. Jenna Blum exploring the power of intensive group treatment for Selective Mutism — and why it works as a springboard that propels children and teens further, whether they're just starting treatment, midway through, or looking for one final push. Drawing on nearly ten years of CommuniCamp, the SMart Center's intensive group treatment and parent education program, they explain why these few days can do what weekly therapy alone often cannot: create frequent communication opportunities, real-world exposures, and a sense of community that builds confidence one step at a time. The episode emphasizes that parents are the most instrumental part of progress — that 15-plus hours of parent education help families understand the whys behind their child's mutism, learn how to talk to their child, and carry skills home long after camp ends. Dr. E and Dr. Jenna explore the social identity shift that happens when a child realizes they're not alone, why comfort, connection, and confidence must precede communication, and why meeting a child where they are on the Social Communication Bridge® is never a regression but the true starting point for growth. Through real-world examples — restaurant and store exposures, the buddy process, and teens who form lasting friendships across states and countries — they show how progress looks different for every child. The heart of the episode turns to what a group setting uniquely reveals: hidden whys like ADHD, autism, and processing challenges that one-on-one therapy can miss, and how those insights translate into IEP and 504 supports at school. The episode closes with practical guidance on choosing any intensive program, and a reminder that courage is not always loud.--Chapters: (03:26) Why Group Treatment Is a Springboard—And How Parents Drive the Progress(14:20) Meeting Kids Where They Are on the Bridge Without Rushing Them(16:50) The Social Identity Shift: Why Realizing "I'm Not Alone" Changes Everything(22:02) Real-World Exposures and the C's That Make Communication Possible(32:33) What a Group Reveals About the Hidden "Whys"—And Carrying Gains Into School- ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: https://selectivemutismcenter.org/resources/ Ask Dr. E a question of your own!

This episode I am reading from James Kelly's book 'Awakened by the Stars: You Have Been Chosen'. From the quiet ache of childhood loneliness to the vast cosmic revelations of his true origin, James Kelly shares an extraordinary and deeply personal journey through a life shaped by the stars. You're Not Alone is the raw and powerful account of a man who has lived with the unshakable truth that he was abducted by beings not of this Earth—and that he is, in truth, an Arcturian star seed child. With unwavering honesty, James recounts the struggles of growing up isolated, misunderstood, and burdened with memories few would believe. Through pain, awakening, and spiritual transformation, he begins to piece together a larger truth: that he is not alone—and neither are you. This book is a beacon for all who have felt out of place in this world, who've wrestled with visions, dreams, or memories they couldn't explain. It is a message of hope, connection, and higher purpose—a reminder that there is light beyond the veil, and that the universe has always been listening. Bio James Kelly has faced extraordinary and life-altering experiences with alien abductions, struggles with mental health, and the profound challenges of keeping his encounters secret. His journey took a dark turn when he nearly ended his own life, but with the support of his wife, Holly, and his connection to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), he found a path toward healing and understanding. Through his encounters with various extraterrestrial beings—including terrifying abductions by hostile entities on the dark side of the moon and life-saving interventions from benevolent forces—James has gained unique insight into the profound mysteries of the universe. His story highlights the emotional and psychological toll of these experiences and the strength it takes to confront them. https://www.amazon.com/Awakened-Stars-Have-Chosen-Believer-ebook/dp/B0GX32T9MC https://www.authorjameskellybooks.com/ Zen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_ufo https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcasthttps://simonbown.com/My new book, Aspects of Alien Abduction https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9YZen AI bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_ufo Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

There's a new generation of anti-Mormon creators on Social Media… but they're just recycling the exact same arguments from 30 years ago.In this episode, we react to a popular video from a young creator who tries to debunk Mormonism in under 60 seconds — and ends up hitting every classic talking point on the bingo card:God was once a manJesus is a created being / brother of Satan“You're saved by grace after all you can do”Bible alone“You can become a god”We break it all down, show where he's wrong (and where he didn't even open the Book of Mormon he's holding), and explain what we actually believe using scripture and early Christian teachings.Is this really the “new” anti-Mormonism… or just the same old stuff with better lighting and tattoos?Drop a comment:Have you seen this guy's video?What's the most common anti-Mormon argument you still hear?#AntiMormon #Mormonism #LDS #BookOfMormon #WardRadioChapter Markers / Timestamps00:00 - Intro: A New Generation of Anti-Mormons?01:08 - We Found This Video Last Night…02:07 - Anti-Mormonism Bingo Card (Place Your Bets)03:00 - “God Was Once a Man” – The Classic Attack04:32 - The King Follett Sermon & What We Actually Believe05:35 - Early Church Fathers on Theosis (We're Not Alone)07:10 - “Jesus Is a Created Being / Brother of Satan”10:37 - “Saved by Grace After All We Can Do” Explained12:23 - Scripturalnotes Sponsor13:32 - “The Bible Alone Is God's Word”16:00 - “You Can Become a God” = Satan's Lie in Genesis?18:40 - Joint Heirs With Christ (They Skip This Verse)21:50 - The “New Generation” Is Just the Old Arguments24:34 - Why This Keeps Happening (Genuine Concern vs. Bad Faith)27:31 - We Invite “Angel With Tattoos” on the Show29:06 - Final Thoughts + Where to Find UsJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .

Welcome to Multiverse News, your source for information about all your favorite fictional universes.Everyone's forgotten Peter Parker…or have they? Sony gave us a second full trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day and the interwebs are buzzing about it. We get longer looks at Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner/Hulk and Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle/Punisher in the film, as well as allusions to the big bad of the movie - though Tom Holland recently said on the press tour that the antagonist has not been figured out yet by fans. Films continue to top each other's openings at the box office this year, with Toy Story 5 having the current title of best opening of the year to the tune of $160 million domestically over the Father's Day weekend. This was also the all-time best opening for the 30-year-old franchise. Disclosure Day took second place this weekend, though Toy Story practically beat its global take in the states alone, and Obsession and Backrooms continue their strong streaks coming in at third and fourth respectively.Universal and Blumhouse's Atomic Monster are jumping on the Curry Barker bandwagon having acquired the young director's third film in a reported eight figure deal. While Universal has been backing Barker, both Obsession and his upcoming film Anything But Ghosts are coming from Focus Features. Blumhouse has produced those same films, but this new move puts the horror powerhouse in a stronger position for film development. To tag onto the box office talk and remind you, Obsession was made for $750,000 and has now made more than $300 million worldwide - making it a tantalizing prospect for Blumhouse.Netflix has opted not to proceed with a second season of The Boroughs, a sci-fi TV series executive produced by Stranger Things creators The Duffer Brothers. The series debuted its first season last month. Universal and Imagine Entertainment are developing a sequel to 2000's How the Grinch Stole Christmas, with Jim Carrey in talks to reprise his role as the classic Dr. Seuss character the Grinch and Ron Howard returning to direct. Manny Jacinto, Emily Mortimer, and Thomasin McKenzie have joined the Season 3 cast of Prime Video's Fallout in recurring roles. In a new interview with Collider, Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri revealed that Star Wars creator George Lucas was cast in a small voice part in the upcoming Minions and Monsters because Lucas is a longtime fan of the Despicable Me franchise. Toy Story 4 director Josh Cooley is reteaming with Keanu Reeves for a live-action hybrid Lego movie that Cooley will direct and Reeves will star in according to Deadline. Netflix has won the rights to develop Alix E. Harrow's best selling novel The Everlasting and will enter production on a series adaptation immediately according to Variety. The Everlasting is a time loop fantasy novel and was one of the best selling books of last year.Universal Pictures has announced that the next Illumination animated film will be Not Alone, an alien movie starring Timothée Chalamet & Selena Gomez which will release in April of next year. Dylan Clark's reboot of The Blair Witch Project for Lionsgate has landed a release date of September 24, 2027.Legendary has announced that a live action Magic School Bus movie is officially in the works with Elizabeth Banks set to play Ms. Frizzle. Detective Pikachu and Goosebumps director Rob Letterman will helm the feature.
She had a million dollars in her account and she was convinced she'd lose her house by the end of the month. That's not a financial problem. That's grief lying. And if you don't know how to recognize it, you'll either rush your client into decisions she'll regret, or lose her trust entirely.Episode SummaryIn this episode, Brandon L. Hayes, CFP, founder of Compass Financial Group and author of You're Not Alone, shares what 26 years of working almost exclusively with widows has taught him about grief and financial decision-making. Brandon's perspective is personal: he lost his father at 13 and watched a trusted advisor help his family stay financially whole. That experience became a calling. He breaks down why the traditional planning process doesn't fit widows, what grief lies look like in practice, which financial landmines to watch for in the first months after a loss, and how advisors and adult children can support without taking over. This is essential listening for any advisor who works with clients navigating the widow transition.About Brandon L. HayesBrandon L. Hayes, CFP, is the founder of Compass Financial Group in Evansville, Indiana, where he has specialized in working with widows for over 26 years. His calling began at age 13 when his father passed away, and he witnessed firsthand the stabilizing impact a trusted financial advisor had on his family. Brandon is the author of You're Not Alone, a guide he describes as a ministry and a mission: walking widows through the financial decisions that can't wait and the ones that can, in plain language. The financial advisor who helped his mother through that season is now Brandon's own client.What We CoverWhy the financial planning process, with its timelines and checklists, is structurally incompatible with grief, and what advisors can do insteadThe concept of grief lies and why even high-net-worth clients can believe they're about to go brokeThe only things that actually need to happen in the first days after a spouse dies, and why everything else can waitRiver widows vs. root widows: two grief patterns that determine how quickly clients make decisionsHow to uncover hidden benefits including accidental death policies, club memberships, and digital accounts that can add thousands or hundreds of thousands to a settlementHow adult children can cross the line from helpful to harmful, and what healthy family support actually looks likeThe organized crime schemes targeting widows, including a scam that ended with criminals physically walking off a porch with $150,000 in goldResources MentionedYou're Not Alone by Brandon L.

"When we are busy, we are numbed out to this sense of inadequacy that we all know is real. Deep, deep, deep down." ~ Kenna MilleaWhat does it actually look like to be addicted to the hustle and not even realize it?How does staying perpetually busy become a coping strategy for the deeper questions we are afraid to sit with?What if the solution to your busyness is not better time management, but a ruthless commitment to doing less?In episode 103 of This Whole Life, Pat and Kenna Millea get honest about their own addiction to hustle. Drawing on John Mark Comer's The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, they explore why so many of us, including two licensed therapists who know better, cannot seem to slow down, and what our busyness is really covering up.They dig into the spiritual roots of hurry, why John Mark Comer calls it the greatest threat to the interior life, and how the Catholic social tradition has been telling us for over a century that work was made for man, not the other way around. Kenna shares a moment from her own therapy that reframed everything: the possibility that her anxiety has been masking depression all along, and that staying busy is the most productive-looking way to avoid sitting with the hard questions of the human experience. Pat gets equally honest about the cost of hurry in his own fatherhood, admitting that far too often he is yelling at his kids not because of what they are doing, but because he is in a hurry and their seven-year-old slowness is incompatible with his schedule.They close with four practical S's from Comer's book: silence and solitude, Sabbath, simplicity, and slowing. The challenge is to pick just one and try it for a week.This episode is for anyone who has answered "how are you doing?" with "so busy" and quietly wondered why that answer feels both true and empty at the same time.Chapters: (00:00) - Cold Open (00:37) - Welcome and Episode Intro (01:47) - Lightning Round: 90 Seconds with Kenna (09:39) - Highs and Hards (16:07) - Why We Might Be the Worst People to Host This Episode (17:46) - The Spiritual Roots of Busyness (21:41) - The Mental and Emotional Cost of Hurry (34:12) - Busyness as a Coping Strategy (42:47) - The Louis C.K.

This episode I am reading from James Kelly's book 'Awakened by the Stars: You Have Been Chosen'. From the quiet ache of childhood loneliness to the vast cosmic revelations of his true origin, James Kelly shares an extraordinary and deeply personal journey through a life shaped by the stars. You're Not Alone is the raw and powerful account of a man who has lived with the unshakable truth that he was abducted by beings not of this Earth—and that he is, in truth, an Arcturian star seed child. With unwavering honesty, James recounts the struggles of growing up isolated, misunderstood, and burdened with memories few would believe. Through pain, awakening, and spiritual transformation, he begins to piece together a larger truth: that he is not alone—and neither are you. This book is a beacon for all who have felt out of place in this world, who've wrestled with visions, dreams, or memories they couldn't explain. It is a message of hope, connection, and higher purpose—a reminder that there is light beyond the veil, and that the universe has always been listening. Bio James Kelly has faced extraordinary and life-altering experiences with alien abductions, struggles with mental health, and the profound challenges of keeping his encounters secret. His journey took a dark turn when he nearly ended his own life, but with the support of his wife, Holly, and his connection to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), he found a path toward healing and understanding. Through his encounters with various extraterrestrial beings—including terrifying abductions by hostile entities on the dark side of the moon and life-saving interventions from benevolent forces—James has gained unique insight into the profound mysteries of the universe. His story highlights the emotional and psychological toll of these experiences and the strength it takes to confront them. https://www.amazon.com/Awakened-Stars-Have-Chosen-Believer-ebook/dp/B0GX32T9MC https://www.authorjameskellybooks.com/ https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/ https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcast https://simonbown.com/ My new book, Aspects of Alien Abduction https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9Y Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

"The most transformative thing you can do as a parent is to know who you are in God's eyes." ~ Rachel BalducciWhat does it actually look like to raise boys into men of faith and character?How do you stay united as parents when the chaos of a house full of boys threatens to divide you?What do you do when your sons walk away from the faith, and how do you hold on to hope?In episode 102 of This Whole Life, Pat and Kenna Millea sit down with Paul and Rachel Balducci, parents of five sons and one daughter, for a conversation about what it really takes to raise boys well. Paul is an immigration attorney and Rachel is an author, journalist, and co-host of The Gist on Catholic TV. Together they have 32 years of marriage and a lot of hard-won wisdom to share.They talk honestly about what the early years looked like with four boys under five, the exhaustion Rachel carried as a stay-at-home mom, and how Paul's quiet steadiness became one of the greatest gifts he gave his sons. They dig into the difference between parenting from fear and parenting from a secure identity in God, and why that shift changes everything.Paul shares one of the most moving moments in the episode: the story of how a small Wednesday night dinner group, built on nothing more than a meal and a short video, led to a full-scale revival among a group of young men who had stopped going to Mass. It is a story about patience, trust, and what happens when parents refuse to give up.Rachel offers something equally honest for the moms: you cannot pour from a place of anxiety, you have to learn to let go, trust the Holy Spirit, and love your kids exactly where they are.This episode is for every parent who has wondered whether they are doing enough, and every mom or dad who needs to hear that God loves your kids far more than you ever could.Rachel Balducci is a cohost of The Gist, a talk show for women on CatholicTV, and teaches journalism at Augusta University. She is the author of Make My Life Simple: Bringing Peace to Heart and Home and How Do You Tuck in a Superhero and Other Delightful Mysteries of Raising Boys. Paul Balducci is an attorney who specializes in immigration and naturalization law. Paul & Rachel have been married for 32 years, live in Georgia, and have five “strapping” sons and one “precious” daughter.Reflection QuestionsChapters:(00:37) - Welcome and guest introductions(02:15) - Highs and Hards(10:15) - How Paul and Rachel met and discerned marriage(17:46) - What life actually looked like with a house full of boys(26:35) - Raising sons: vision, modeling, and masculine genius(35:11) - What your sons need from you as they grow up(47:27) - Avoiding the trap of over-critical parenting(54:25) - When your sons walk away from the faith(59:52) - Challenge by choice(01:01:26) - Closing prayerLinks and Resources:Rachel Balducci - https://rachelbalducci.com/Rachel on Instagram: @rachelbalducciRachel Balducci on Catholic TV: The Gist - https://www.catholictv.org/the-gist.htmlMake My Life Simple: Bringing Peace to Heart and Home by Rachel Balducci - https://a.co/d/036UJ4LTHow Do You Tuck in a Superhero? by Rachel Balducci - https://a.co/d/03Flj5LRSupport the showThank you for listening, and a very special thank you to our community of supporters!Join our email list and never miss an episode or an eventVisit us online at thiswholelifepodcast.com, and send us an email with your thoughts, questions, or ideas.Follow us on Instagram & FacebookInterested in more faith-filled mental health resources?

Talking to Your Kids About Sex and Gender Feels Overwhelming? You’re Not Alone—But You’re the Parent God Chose for This Moment. Every Christian parent knows “the talk” is coming—but what if it’s sooner (and more important) than you think? In today’s hyper-sexualized, ever-confusing culture, silence is not an option. Someone—or something—will shape your child’s understanding of sex and identity. The real question: Will it be you, or the world? In this courageous episode of Christian Parent/Crazy World, Catherine sits down with trusted guest Elizabeth Urbanowicz, founder and CEO of Foundation Worldview. A seasoned educator, experienced apologist, and creator of biblically sound resources for families, Elizabeth Urbanowicz knows firsthand how to translate tough, complex topics for young hearts and minds. Her latest book, Helping Your Kids Know God's Good Design: 40 Questions and Answers on Sexuality and Gender, equips parents to start the conversation confidently and biblically—no matter your background. What You’ll Learn and Why It Matters: Why Christian Parents Must Go FirstCatherine and Elizabeth Urbanowicz make the case that if you’re not the “first voice” your kids hear about sex and gender, you risk becoming just another commentary in a noisy world. The “founder’s effect” means early, honest conversations establish you—not TikTok or the classroom—as the expert in your child’s life Conversation Starters for Every AgeNervous about what to say? Take a deep breath. From age-appropriate ways to explain anatomy (“God has given us special body parts to be treated with special care”, to using simple analogies (“Just like we keep some toys special, some parts of our body are to be kept private”), Elizabeth Urbanowicz outlines practical conversation guides for little ones. She provides step-by-step approaches to discussing biological differences, the mechanics of sex, and the beauty of God’s design—without shame or fear. God’s Good Design: Framing MattersInstead of starting with “don’t do it,” this episode teaches you to anchor the entire conversation in God’s goodness—how He created sexual intimacy as a precious gift for marriage, reflecting Christ’s relationship with the Church, and as foundational, not shameful, to human identity. Addressing Parental Wounds and FearsWhat if your own story is marked by pain, brokenness, or unmet expectations? Elizabeth Urbanowicz offers heartfelt encouragement for parents who feel disqualified by divorce, loss, abuse, or regrets: “God is working all things together for your good by conforming you more into the image of His Son”. The goal is not a perfect family portrait—it’s pointing your kids to Jesus, no matter the journey. You Will Not Steal Their Innocence—You Will Protect ItAfraid early conversations will “ruin” your child’s innocence? Elizabeth Urbanowicz gently challenges that notion: real harm comes not from truth, but from leaving kids uninformed and unprepared in a fallen world. Notable Moments & Quotes: “Whoever is the first person to talk about a topic naturally becomes the expert in our minds.” “Sexuality is not something to be embarrassed or ashamed of. It’s a gift God has given to be used within its proper context.” “Our feelings do not determine what is right or wrong. God’s good design does. And it is for our good.” About the Guest:Elizabeth Urbanowicz holds a master’s degree in Education from Northern Illinois University and an MA in Christian Apologetics from Biola University. She’s a former elementary school teacher and now a foremost voice in equipping families, churches, and educators to help kids think biblically and critically. As founder of Foundation Worldview, her resources are used and loved in homes and ministries nationwide.

Begin where you are, trust God’s leading, and choose to be the voice your child needs. Discussion Starter for Listeners:How will you intentionally become the “first voice” for your children on sex, identity, and God’s good design—even if it means facing your own discomfort or starting late? What step will you take this week to begin the conversation? Tune in and be equipped—because Christian parenting may be crazy, but you don’t have to do it alone.

Projection is one of those words people use all the time, but rarely slow down enough to understand. In this episode of YNA Mental Health, we talk about what projection really is, why it happens, and how unresolved shame, fear, insecurity, and pain can get pushed onto the people around us. We also explore what it feels like to be projected onto, how repeated accusations can start shaping your identity, and how to tell the difference between intuition and projection. If you've ever walked away from a relationship, argument, or conversation wondering, “Is this really me, or is this something being placed on me?” this episode is for you.

"I love for people to come when the pipes leak instead of when they burst." — Vonda TiedelWhy do so many couples wait years before finally seeking help?What actually happens in the therapy room, and what is the therapist really doing?Are there situations where couples therapy can do more harm than good?Couples therapy is one of the most misunderstood tools in marriage. People assume it means something's broken, that the therapist will pick a side, or that it's too late. None of that is true.In this episode, Kenna sits down with two trusted colleagues and fellow licensed marriage and family therapists, Ben Baker and Vonda Tiede, for an honest, behind-the-curtain conversation about what couples therapy actually looks like, who it's for, and what gets in the way of people starting sooner.They cover the myths that keep couples stuck, the difference between a disagreement and a full-blown fight, what "containment" really means in the therapy room, and the specific situations where couples therapy is actually contraindicated. They also share the one thing they each wish every couple knew before they ever walked through the door.Whether you're considering couples therapy, currently in it, or just curious what happens in that room, this episode will give you real answers, not vague reassurances.Chapters(00:00) - "Your marriage is my client"(00:28) - Welcome and guest introductions(02:14) - Highs and Hards(08:25) - Why couples therapy feels so mysterious(09:35) - How Ben and Vonda chose marriage and family therapy(14:01) - Individual therapy vs. couples therapy(18:38) - Myths and misconceptions therapists want to dispel(33:56) - When to come and when to wait(52:18) - The one thing each therapist wishes every couple knew(58:03) - Challenge by choice(01:00:27) - Closing prayerLinks and Resources:Martin Center for Integration - https://martincenterforintegration.comVonda Tiede, LMFT - https://www.vondatiede.com/Related episodes with Ben Baker: Men and Mental Health, Men in Relationships, Triangulation - https://martincenterforintegration.com/show-notes-70Related episodes with Vonda Tiede: Marital Intimacy, What Happens in Individual Therapy - https://martincenterforintegration.com/show-notes-21Support the showThank you for listening, and a very special thank you to our community of supporters!Join our email list and never miss an episode or an eventVisit us online at thiswholelifepodcast.com, and send us an email with your thoughts, questions, or ideas.Follow us on Instagram & FacebookInterested in more faith-filled mental health resources?

"Being connected to your spouse in prayer, even when things are hard, maybe especially when things are hard, is one of the best ways to know that person." ~ Pat MilleaWhy do so many couples want to pray together but never actually do it?What do you do when you feel too vulnerable, too proud, or too far apart to pray?Is there a method that works, even for couples who have never prayed out loud together?In episode 100 of This Whole Life, Pat and Kenna Millea take on a topic that listeners have been asking for: how to actually pray together as a couple. Not in theory. Not with a polished formula. But honestly, practically, and in a way that fits real married life with kids, conflict, busy schedules, and the kind of exhaustion that makes even good intentions fall apart.They dig into why married prayer is so uniquely powerful, including what it means that no one knows your spouse like God does, and why that matters most when things are hard between you. They unpack the difference between rote prayer and spontaneous prayer, and why both have a place in a marriage. And they walk through a specific method of praying together, taught by a priest named Father Scott Traynor, that is accessible, intimate, and surprisingly doable, even for couples who feel completely out of their depth.Then, to mark the milestone of episode 100, they actually do it. Pat and Kenna pray the Traynor method together, on air, for real, in what may be the most vulnerable and honest moment the show has ever aired.This episode is for every couple who has wanted to pray together but did not know where to start.Chapters:(00:40) — Welcome and episode 100 celebration(01:47) — States trivia game(14:15) — Why married prayer matters(22:00) — The gifts of praying together as a couple(33:30) — Praying before conflict: the hardest and most humbling move(43:50) — Getting practical: how to start(46:50) — The Traynor Method explained(52:00) — Pat and Kenna pray the Traynor Method Links and Resources:The Parish as a School of Prayer by Father Scott TraynorSupport the showThank you for listening, and a very special thank you to our community of supporters!Visit us online at thiswholelifepodcast.com, and send us an email with your thoughts, questions, or ideas.Follow us on Instagram & FacebookInterested in more faith-filled mental health resources?

Welcome back to Late Boomers! We're your hosts, Host Cathy Worthington and Merry Elkins. In this episode, we're thrilled to sit down with Tara Conahan, founder of Obsessionediquette.com, to unpack the world of Irish traditional music sessions and the universal lessons they offer about belonging, creativity, and venturing into new communities especially after 50.Whether you're a seasoned musician, a curious listener, or simply someone eager to embrace new experiences, this conversation is for you. Tara Connaghan joins us all the way from Donegal, Ireland, to share her wisdom on “session etiquette”—the unspoken social codes that help us connect and thrive, not only in music circles but everywhere in life.We dive into what makes music sessions in Ireland (and beyond) both inviting and intimidating, how newcomers can read a room and ease their anxiety, and why it's okay to be a beginner at any age. Tara Conahan highlights how etiquette isn't about rigid rules but about bringing positive, collaborative energy to any group setting.We also explore:The surprising origins and evolution of Irish music sessionsWhy it's normal to feel anxious joining an established group (and how to get past it)The role of elders in passing on music, wisdom, and confidenceListening as an underrated and essential way to participateHow to gracefully navigate awkward first encountersWhy real belonging means being valued and heardKey TakeawaysSession Etiquette is Universal: It applies not just to music, but to jobs, social circles, and any situation where you're joining something that existed before you (02:43).You're Not Alone in Feeling Anxious: Everyone from beginners to professionals faces uncertainty when entering new spaces. A little reconnaissance helps reduce the pressure (06:37).Reading the Room: Adjust your energy by thinking about how you'll affect others, not just how they'll affect you (10:12).Belonging is About Value: Authentic inclusion happens when everyone feels valued and heard (12:45).Start Small, Get Comfortable: Visit sessions a few times before joining in, and start with those that suit your skill level (18:10).It's Okay to Walk Away: If a group isn't welcoming, don't force it find a community where you feel genuine belonging (25:29).Music Connects Generations: Sessions can bring together everyone from young kids to elders, fostering intergenerational bonds and wisdom (21:35).Bring Music Into Your Life: Make a list of 10 songs or albums that shaped your life and revisit your own soundtrack (25:50).We invite you to reflect on your own life's soundtrack! Take a few minutes this week to list ten tracks, albums or genres that marked major chapters or memories for you. See where the music takes you and let it inspire creativity and connection in your life.

"What...what are those?"Don't miss this harrowing tale of escape, invisibility, and survival from Dr. Julia Sadusky
We're in our new "month of renewal" format. We're essentially exploring this question throughout the month... what if growth required less effort? This is an encore episode that helps us answer this question. Reminder that we'll be back with new episodes May 1, 2026. "Joyless urgency." Two words that probably just hit a little too close to home. In this episode, Henry Emmons, MD and Aimee Prasek, PhD dig into the Element of Fun — and why so many of us have so little of it. Drawing on the writing of Marilynne Robinson, the surprising decline of kids biking, and sobering research on social media's role in what researchers call problematic engagement, Henry and Aimee make a compelling case that fun isn't frivolous. It's foundational. And reclaiming it might be one of the most radical — and effective — things you can do right now.

Aimee unpacks why those two words land so hard — and how Robinson's observation that this urgency serves "inscrutable ends that are utterly not our own" is the quiet crisis underneath hustle culture. [00:02:00] — The Question We're Too Busy to Answer We've all had that moment of clarity — what am I doing this for? — only to immediately rush past it into the next task. Aimee names the pattern: sometimes urgency is more comfortable than sitting with the possibility that all this striving might not actually be for us. [00:03:00] — Henry's Childhood Take on Boredom (Wisdom From the Old Wise Rat) Henry reflects on being a kid who dreaded boredom — and how that boredom turned out to be necessary. The inactivity between moments of play is what made the play so rich. Think of it like the pause between musical notes. [00:05:30] — Aimee's Dollar Ice Cream Cone Moment Aimee connects bike riding to early experiences of autonomy and confidence — biking to the corner store with a dollar felt like being a real adult. A sweet illustration of how unstructured play doubles as a training ground for real-world social skills, self-confidence, and approach behavior. [00:07:00] — Social Media and the Architecture of Joyless Urgency Here's where it gets science-y. Aimee connects the joyless urgency framework directly to how most social media platforms are designed — not to satisfy us, but to keep us in a loop of stimulation and momentary relief. The mechanics: activate anxiety, ease it briefly, activate again. Repeat. Sound familiar? [00:08:00] — Problematic Engagement: What the Research Says Aimee introduces the research concept of problematic engagement — used in studies on social media addiction and gambling — which describes the cycle of engaging with something that momentarily eases dis-ease but ultimately causes harm. Key finding: social anxiety is a primary driver, and these platforms are algorithmically built to exploit it. [00:09:30] — The Most Ironic Research Finding People who believe they have complete control over their social media use — who think they could stop at any time — actually show the most signs of problematic engagement. They're absorbing the most harm while feeling the least concerned about it. [00:10:00] — Dr. Samira Farivar Quote + What We're Up Against Aimee references research by Dr. Samira Farivar: "You can't action a problem you don't even know exists." The platform isn't incidental to the problem — it is the business model. We're not weak for falling into this loop. We're human, and the trap was engineered specifically for us. [00:11:30] — The Simple Truth About Adding More Fun Henry brings it home: adding more fun to life is theoretically simple. If we just slow down enough to let our awareness catch up, we'll almost naturally fill that space with something we enjoy. Kids don't need instructions for fun — and adults don't either, once we clear the noise. [00:13:00] — Listening to the Voice That Wants to Play Henry offers a quiet but urgent reminder: our inner wisdom needs to be heard. If we don't honor it, it either goes silent — or gets louder until we can't ignore it. The invitation is to pause, ask what am I doing?, and actually wait for an answer to surface. [00:14:00] — Play Is an Offensive Strategy Aimee closes the conversation with a reframe: fun and play aren't a retreat from the hard stuff in the world. They're a way of moving through it.

"There is literally nowhere else on the face of the earth I'd rather you go than to me." ~ Dr. Julia SaduskyWhy do so many well-meaning Catholic parents freeze when it comes to talking to their kids about sex?What do you actually say when your child comes home asking about their classmate's parents?How do you talk to your kids about pornography before they encounter it?In episode 99 of This Whole Life, Pat and Kenna welcome back Dr. Julia Sadusky, licensed clinical psychologist, author, and one of the most trusted Catholic voices in the space of sexual formation. Julia wrote not one but two books to help Catholic parents have these conversations well: one for kids ages zero to nine, and one for teens. This episode is the one your group chat has been needing.Julia doesn't make this scary or clinical. She walks Pat and Kenna through the common obstacles that stop parents cold, and then gives them real tools. Actual scripts. Practical language for everything from explaining genitalia to a toddler, to responding when your child asks why their friend has two dads, to having the pornography conversation before it becomes a crisis.The goal isn't a perfect talk. The goal is a relationship where your child knows you are the first place they go.Dr. Julia Sadusky is a licensed clinical psychologist, author, speaker, and adjunct professor based in Littleton, Colorado. Her clinical work and research focus on sexual and gender development and trauma-informed care.

If you've ever sat in a meeting, been asked for your opinion, and immediately thought… "Who am I to speak up?" "They're going to find out I don't belong here." You're not alone. In this episode, we're talking about imposter syndrome — not just what it is, but what to actually do about it. Because I'm done with advice that sounds good but doesn't help you in real life… like on a Tuesday morning when you're about to walk into a client call and your confidence is nowhere to be found. This episode is packed with real, actionable steps you can start using today. Here's something to hold onto: 70% of people across every industry experience imposter syndrome. Maya Angelou felt it. Tom Hanks talked about it. Michelle Obama wrote about it. So if you've ever felt like you're one mistake away from being exposed — you're in very good company. And more importantly, there is a way through it. In This Episode, We Cover: • How to recognize imposter syndrome when it shows up • How to reframe the stories you're telling yourself • How to take action even when you don't feel ready • How to build confidence through consistent action • 12 practical steps to help you own your voice Resources: Are you a health coach in need of done-for-you content?

Launch your podcast or get full podcast management services here: https://rachelafeldman.com/the-healthy-hustle-podcast-agency/ Tip #1: Name It Out Loud The next time that voice shows up, don't ignore it — name it. Say: "I'm experiencing imposter syndrome right now." When you label the emotion, you activate the rational part of your brain and shift from reaction to response. This isn't truth — it's a feeling. And feelings can be worked with. Tip #2: Remember You're Not Alone 70% of people experience this. That means the people sitting in your next Zoom call are likely feeling it too. You're not broken. You're growing. Tip #3: Keep a Win Journal Imposter syndrome has selective memory. It remembers your mistakes — and forgets your wins. Start tracking your wins weekly: • Solved a problem • Got a thank you message • Finished something hard This becomes your proof when your brain tries to tell you otherwise. Tip #4: Separate Feelings from Facts Ask yourself: Is this true… or does it just feel true? Your thoughts are convincing — but they're not always accurate. Challenge them. Tip #5: Embrace the Learning Curve Replace: "I don't belong here" With: "I haven't learned this yet." That one word changes everything. Discomfort doesn't mean you're in the wrong place — it means you're growing. Tip #6: Act First, Feel Confident Later Confidence doesn't come before action. It comes from action. Do it scared. Do it messy. Do it anyway. Tip #7: Share Before It's Perfect Perfectionism and imposter syndrome go hand in hand. Stop waiting for perfect. Share at 80%. Progress builds confidence — perfection delays it. Tip #8: Say Yes to One Stretch Opportunity Pick one thing this month that scares you. • Apply for something • Pitch yourself • Start the thing Growth happens when you stretch. Tip #9: Find a Mentor or Accountability Partner You don't have to do this alone. Mentors don't just give advice — they give permission. Accountability keeps you moving forward when doubt creeps in. Tip #10: Talk About It Imposter syndrome thrives in silence. Say it out loud. Most of the time, you'll hear: "Me too." Tip #11: Celebrate Others Without Comparing Someone else's success is not your failure. It's proof that it's possible. Practice celebrating others — it builds an abundance mindset. Tip #12: Create Your Evidence List Write down your top 5 real accomplishments. Keep them visible. When doubt shows up, read them out loud. Because the antidote to a lie is the truth. Final Thoughts You are not behind. You are not unqualified. You are not a fraud. You are growing. And everything you're feeling right now is part of becoming the person you're meant to be. If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who needs it. And remember — you don't need to feel ready to take the next step. You just need to take it.
"The love of Christ was the magnetic force that really drew us together."~ Debbie HerbeckWhat does it actually take to keep Christ at the center of a marriage through decades of real life?What do you do when one spouse is further ahead in faith than the other?How do you build a family culture that passes faith down to the next generation?In episode 98 of This Whole Life, Pat and Kenna welcome Peter and Debbie Herbeck, a couple with nearly 40 years of marriage, four children, and 12 grandchildren. Their story is anything but ordinary. Debbie grew up Jewish, came to faith at the University of Michigan, and paid a real price to follow Jesus. Peter came from a Catholic family shaped by both great love and the wounds of an alcoholic home. When they met, they were both already fully committed to the Lord individually, before they ever considered committing to each other.What followed was a marriage built not on ideal circumstances, but on a shared decision to put Jesus first, even when it was hard, messy, and costly.In this conversation, Peter and Debbie share the practical rhythms that kept their marriage rooted through busy seasons of parenting and ministry, what they say to couples where one spouse simply isn't on the same page in faith, and how they built a culture of honor in their home that their grandchildren are now carrying forward.This is the kind of wisdom that only comes from decades of saying yes to the Lord together.Peter Herbeck is the Vice President and Director of Missions for Renewal Ministries. Debbie Herbeck is the founder and executive director of Be Love Revolution and Pine Hills Girls Camp, and a speaker whose journey from Judaism to the Catholic faith has inspired thousands. Together they are co-authors of Lessons from the School of Love: Building a Christ-Centered Marriage.Chapters:(01:27) - Introduction and welcome(07:30) - Highs & Hards: life lately(09:40) - How Peter and Debbie met(18:30) - Blending two very different backgrounds in marriage(26:30) - Keeping Christ at the center: practical rhythms(39:30) - When one spouse is trailing behind in faith(50:30) - The culture of honor in your home(58:55) - Challenge By ChoiceLinks and Resources:Lessons from the School of Love: Building a Christ-Centered Marriage.

Welcome to the Leading Edge in Emotionally Focused Therapy, hosted by Drs. James Hawkins, Ph.D., LPC, and Ryan Rana, Ph.D., LMFT, LPC—Renowned ICEEFT Therapists, Supervisors, and Trainers. We're thrilled to have you with us. We believe this podcast, a valuable resource, will empower you to push the boundaries in your work, helping individuals and couples connect more deeply with themselves and each other. In this episode of Push the Leading Edge, Dr. James Hawkins (Doc Hawk) and Dr. Ryan Rana unpack what it actually looks and feels like when a couple reaches the end of Stage 2 in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). They move beyond theory and manuals into the lived, embodied reality: couples who can stay in the emotional “fire,” face their deepest shame and pain, and still reach for each other. Using vivid metaphors—from Navy SEAL training, battle buddies, and swim buddies, to military deployments and “embrace the suck”—they illustrate how Stage 2 work transforms not just the relationship, but each partner's internal sense of self and safety. Top 10 Takeaways from This Episode End of Stage 2 = Installed Positive Cycle You know you're at the end of Stage 2 when couples can see, use, and stay in a positive cycle on their own. The negative cycle isn't “gone,” but they can repair it reliably and return to connection. It's Not About Trying, It's About Training Stage 2 is like military training: repeated, high‑pressure enactments (often ~30+ deep enactments across Stage 2) build automatic, embodied responses, not just cognitive insight. When the “bricks clack” (the trigger of the negative cycle), their bodies now know what to do. Caregiving System Comes Online A key marker of Stage 2 completion is that each partner's caregiving system is active and available. Partners start pre‑emptively making space for the other's pain, even before a clear signal is sent, and can say, in effect, “I know this might be hard for you, and I'm here.” “I Must Be Willing to Know Me to Be Known by You” Borrowing from Leanne Campbell, James highlights that clients must be willing to know themselves—all the versions of self—for true intimacy. By end of Stage 2, clients are less afraid of their inner world; they befriend previously shame-filled parts and bring them into the relationship. Both Partners Can Go Deep and Offer A.R.E. True Stage 2 completion means both partners can: Go deep into vulnerability without getting stuck in blame or avoidance Offer A.R.E. (Accessibility, Responsiveness, Engagement) as caregivers It's not enough for just one partner to do deep work; dyadic reciprocity is crucial. From “Fix Me” to “Be With Me” A major shift is from “please fix me or fix this” to “be with me in this.” Therapists should mark not only outcomes but effort and presence: “Look how you stayed with your partner for 30 minutes in the basement of their pain without trying to fix it.” Confidence and Relational Resilience Grow Couples leave Stage 2 with a felt sense of, “We can do this.” They have experiential proof that under pressure they can rappel into the basement of pain, stay present, and emerge together—building relational resilience, not just symptom relief. Secure Bonds Are Simple but Not Easy Secure bonds aren't conceptually complicated: Show up Stay present Respond vulnerably and reliably The hard part is slowing down when the body wants to speed up and remaining vulnerably present in discomfort, not learning 50 relationship tricks. Battle Buddies and Swim Buddies: You're Not Alone in the Fire End of Stage 2 means each partner has a “battle buddy” / “swim buddy” / “wingman”—someone who will go into the fire with them, not just cheer from a distance. You cannot become a battle buddy without fire; Stage 2 requires going into pain, not just building safety around it. Therapists Must Mark and Install Key Moments A big part of the therapist's role is to slow down, mark, and install these turning points: Naming the risk Naming the caregiving response Naming the resilience and mutual effort This helps clients encode and remember how they did it, so they can find their way back outside of the session. We aim to equip therapists with practical tools and encouragement for addressing relational distress.

This week, authorities in New Mexico are continuing their investigation into the disappearance of retired U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. William "Neil" McCasland, and as the investigation enters its third week, officials say there have been no confirmed sightings of McCasland and few significant leads regarding his whereabouts. McCasland, 68, is a former commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory whose career placed him at the center of some of the U.S. military's most sensitive science and technology programs. However, it was the missing official's brief associations with the rock guitarist Tom DeLonge beginning in 2016 that led to widespread speculations within the UFO community about what McCasland may have known about some of America's most intriguing secrets. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine what is currently known about McCasland's strange disappearance, as well as the significance of his past work in government involving oversight of America's most sensitive Special Access Programs.
